When faced with a patient whose psychological symptoms may stem
from an organic, or medical, condition rather than psychology, how
does the practitioner determine exactly which is the true case? To
facilitate this process and give psychologists, social workers, and
nurses a useable guide to assessment, Robert Taylor created
"Psychological Masquerade" and has updated it to be the most
complete handbook you will ever need in the field.
New chapters on violent behavior, amnesia and dementia, sex
obsession, and Munchausen-by-Proxy fill out the guide and numerous
case studies help clarify diagnostic criteria and provide a welcome
hands-on approach to caring for clients in this delicate balance.
As a further enhancement of the text as assessment tool, self-tests
for hypothetical cases are included as are specific clinical tests
that aid in clue gathering.
This is the perfect clinical guide for any practitioner who is
likely to come into contact with psychological masquerade among
their clients and will be a welcome addition to the practitioner's
toolbox.
